i don't know what the meaning.. can you help me, please..

An error occurred while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned: Bitfield Collision: prefixrequired = credits_cantearn

This means that you are trying to install 2 modifications that use the same bitfield name. One of the modifications will need to change the names they are using.

PS It is commonly suggested that all variables in a modification are prefixed with the id of the modification so there can never be a suplicate name used, but not all authors take this effort.

May i know, how to see the bitfield name?
where i can check, that there is 2 modifications that use the same bitfield name?

and, where to see that all variables in a modification are prefixed with the id of the modification?

Thank you

You can view the bitfields in all the ./includes/xml/bitfield_XXXX.xml files.

Please do not modify those files yourself unless you know what you're doing. That collision is caused by vbCredits and I believe the author has provided a fix.

i don't have vbCredits in our forum.
everytime i want to install plugins.. there always this error message...

A conflict was detected in the bitfields. You cannot continue with the installation of this product until this has been fixed. The conflicts found were:

* Bitfield Collision: prefixrequired = credits_cantearn


what should i do?

[Dismounted]

Did you read my post?

[ndut]

yes, i've read.. you write..

Please do not modify those files yourself unless you know what you're doing.
ok, i'm not modifying those files.. :)

That collision is caused by vbCredits and I believe the author has provided a fix.
but, in my forum there is no vbCredits install :)

so, what should i do?

Then you probably had it installed at one time but have not removed all the files when you uninstalled it.

We had the same problem.

I located ./includes/xml/bitfield_credits.xml from e previous installation of vbcredits.
just deleted it an everything works fine now

greets

[ndut]
